I was about to say that I'm ready to step in and help but I gave it another thought and I did read the wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/TeamVerificationGuidelines I don't think we can do it as of now. My question is: can we do that later? for example, if we can prove, after months for example, that we have activities and all ... can we apply anytime?! I don't think there is some kind of time frame for that, right? I think once a team meets the requirements, that team can apply, correct? > > As always, if anyone is interested in running some local events the team > and I are here to support you, just shoot the list an email. > I'll keep that in mind, thanks :) > > [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/TeamVerificationGuidelines > [2] http://loco.ubuntu.com/about-loco/ > [3] http://ubuntu.org.au/ > [4] https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-au > [5] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/IRC > > Regards, > > Jared Norris > > -- > ubuntu-au mailing list > ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au > > Thank you for letting us know :) -- Remember: "All of us are smarter than any one of us."
